About the event
In this programme we will discuss some of the contemporary debates and challenges of the 21st century Indian state focussing on the ‘people’ who carry out various and diverse activities of the state. This includes apex civil services, as well as specialised and technical bureaucracies, regulatory agency staff, the political executive, middle and frontline bureaucracies, field workers, doctors and teachers. The Indian state has come under renewed attention in the time of the pandemic, both in public discourse and as a subject of research and analysis. The Indian state is at the heart of much of what we do at the Centre for Policy Research. All our programmes of work relate in some way or other to our deep commitment and belief in a well-functioning and capable Indian state.
We will also take the opportunity to share some of our recent engagements, research activities, publications and launch a podcast series on civil services reform.
